well i just had this idea which everyone sort of considers but not enough. Since everything in your dream is generated by your subconsious, then if you ask a dream character something you are communicating with your subconsious. Yes cool.

yeah but most DCs are just plain stupid.You have to find a dream guide to teach you stuff and learn more about yourself

For all the conversations ive had with dream characters i think only 2 or 3 have made sense and interested me. They can however be a great source of amusement . If you haven't already i recommend reading the following thread, its probably my favourite long running thread on dreamviews: http://www.dreamviews.com/f28/dcs-sa...-things-19509/

I wouldnt call them stupid, it could be that they are differently intelligent. For example, a dream characters job could be to activate certain things in your body, so they could be intensely genius in that part of the work which even you do not know about. Dont be assumptious about them, get to know them.

Or are you merely suggesting to be sensitive to the workings of the subconscious?

I'd love to. Having a decent conversation with one is one of my goals. On the same team here then. I have made it my goal to find a DC and ask a few questions, or just simply to get to know them. I mean after all, the brain is producing chemicals, signals, etc. It almost creates our whole world, so getting to know your DC can be a good of knowing your world.

Hehe, with the phenomenon of dissociative identity disorder or multiple personality disorder, in theory these characters you come to know could, in fact, be such personalities that are identified in those disorders. I wonder. Last conversation I had with a DC involved them eventually daring me to jump off the roof if I thought I was really dreaming. Despite being aware, this comment resulted me in taking the stairs to the ground.

You should have taken their dare and seen their response, I wonder if they would have done the same thing after you.

It's an anime that is based around a device that was built to enable therapists into your dreams in order to treat you. That's a half decent idea in my opinion given that the subconscious is such a candid view of your self.

In my only lucid so far I decided to try a shared dreaming experiment. I'm not sure if I believe in it, but I'm open to the possibility. So I attempt to find a girl I know and after a while I do. If we assume that shared dreaming is real (simply for the sake of explanation) then I am assuming that the girl I eventually found was not really her, but a dream character. I eventually sat down and chatted with her until I experienced a false awakening. I don't remember exactly what we talked about, but I know it was a good conversation. It had the exact same feeling as any conversation we would have in waking life.

I'll watch it. Apparently it was indirectly cited by Nolan as influence on the making of Inception.

[Hukif]

I don't see the point here... also, normal DCs aren't stupid for me, I'm guessing people just got problems with understanding themselves. As someone here says often, ask more questions!

[rynkrt3]

Yeah, like most other people have posted, all of my DC's are just dumb lol. I have not yet found/met my dream guide but I reeaaallllyyy can't wait to learn from him.

My 'claimed-to-be' dream guide was an emaciated shape-shifting old granny. She said that my feet are too big, and that I need only put one sugar in when I make tea. She was the one who introduced me to the DC that eventually dared me to jump off a roof. She's a real heart-warming lady.
